    A fellow performing friend of mine asked me a question I haven't really been asked in some time... "How do YOU warm up?" It took me a minute to even remember what I do, it has been that ingrained in me. But, my response was: "I'm usually in a corner of the...

    Atlanta or SF for aspiring actor?

    Hi everyone! So moving to LA for college was all a part of my plan but turns out that it will be unlikely as I’m waitlisted at UCLA. Instead, I was accepted into UC Berkeley (near SF) and Emory University (Atlanta) and the only thing that I’m really concerned...

    Is it a bad time to be a white male actor?

    - I've been told by so many teachers, coaches and professionals now that it really is. - Diversity is in, but even more so because it's making up for the lost time of the last 2 decades. - Of the last 18 "congratulations on your role booking" instagram posts...
